Title is clickbate.

Not American here. Why would you put the punctuation inside the quotes unless you are quoting punctuation? Unless I misunderstood what you mean.

For example:

Bob wrote “this is amazing!”.

Bob used an exclamation point, so I quoted an exclamation. If it is the end of my sentence then I use a full stop, if I quote it then it would imply the end of their sentence even though it wasn’t.

Frazorth is amazing when he speaks, as I never knew someone could be quite so incoherent.

Would be quoted as

Bob said “Frazorth is amazing.”

It distorts the context.

Glad you enjoyed the suggestion!

They’ve also got the Xbox interface for controllers, the reason they don’t make Windows better for this scenario is that they already have XBox and making a SwitchBox interferes with their plan to make everything shit.

Absolutely. But they want everyone to know they are using Windows, which if there was a custom shell then they wouldn’t.

They have >95% of the market, they don’t care about making a good interface for TVs as they already lost it to Android, and they don’t care about making a good gaming interface as they already have XBox.

Windows users are an inconvenience, that they want to milk.

No, Microsoft don’t allow it. As part of the distribution licence you are not allowed to customise the OOB interface.

People don’t know it’s Linux, but it’s absolutely because of Linux that it works.

They could call it Windows Console Edition, or WinCE.

Nope.

The big thing is that the Deck uses Linux which allows Steam to provide an amazing interface.

All the “competition” still tries to use Windows, and the experience is appalling.

It all depends on what you actually want to do.

I have a computer connected to the TV with Chimera installed because that’s SteamOS 3 with emulators preconfigured and is completely couch + controller friendly.

My laptop has Fedora because it’s up to date, but everything is tested before release, and all upgrade paths are automated unlike Arch which burnt me in the past with breaking changes.

On my Pi’s I have Diet Pi, which is Debian but has images for each of the different ARM boards and has a bunch of scripts for setting up print servers, Home Assistant, etc. I want Debian for it’s slow unchanging nature there.

On my desktop, less so.

But underneath they are all Linux, and they all behave in very similar ways, it’s all about the initial setup.

Stable has nothing to do with outdated packages.

That’s a personal decision by a distro.

Fedora is a stable distro because generally the packages stay on the same major version throughout the version, however they have a list of exceptions for certain applications that should be updated for security or perhaps they don’t follow a major/minor/bugfix release and it’s bad practice to hack together your own versions.

Fedora rebases it’s packages every 6 months, so it’s never left far behind.

They also don’t produce usable amounts of light.

That doesn’t make it “trash”.

Most people are not accessing the internet via a Chromebook.

I was just wondering if anyone was going to provide an upgrade path for my NanoPi Neo 3.

This looks small enough to do that job!

[Edit] Checked out the specs, I don’t think this is going to beat the NanoPi Neo 3 at all.

But it’s good to see other folks try to make the machines tiny.

I only had bad experiences with an XPS, then I found out that the Linux model was a cut down version so that Dell didnt have to support the fingerprint reader and other gadgets.

Lenovo at the time were working with Fedora to get all their fingerprint drivers upstreamed so the choice seemed obvious.

AMD T14 Gen 2, and it’s still great.

The only claim anyone has ever documented is detailed in the article.

An accusation doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right though. Something people get confused on often is Steam Keys, which are completely separate to Steam Store purchases. Valve do ask developers not to “give Steam customers a worse deal than Steam Key purchasers”

You can read through all the claimants key documents if you like 😉

So far no one has ever shown Valve asking for price parity with other outlets, and this doesn’t appear to be any different. Just a lawyer looking for a payday.

He just has horses he was trying to dump on other people, but positioned it like it was a nice gift.

Essentially, this hinges on whether demanding price parity with other platforms is anticompetitive…

No it’s not. This hinges on whether you can sell the generated free Steam keys on other sites for less than the price you have set on Steam.

You can absolutely sell your game on another site for less. You can’t sell your game on another site for less and make Steam pick up the infrastructure costs.
